BAC staff motto: come for the therapy, stay for the comedy 🎭😂 There's no such thing as a laugh-free day at the BAC!

We asked BAC PT Becca: “What’s one of the funniest or most surprising things a child has said or done during a session?”

👉 “Hearing kids’ thoughts throughout sessions is one of my favorite parts of my job. Their pure-hearted answers to questions are so fun to hear and I love giving space to kids to genuinely be themselves and get stronger while having fun! I have had a few hilarious conversations regarding foods kids like to eat during sessions…” - Becca

Becca: “How did you get so strong?”
Kid: “I ate corn! Sometimes I eat a lot and sometimes I don’t eat that much.” 🌽

Becca: “How did you get so tall?”
Kid: “I ate food!”
Becca: “What food did you eat to make you tall?”
Kid: “Ravioli! There’s cheese in the middle and that’s the best part!” 🧀🍝

We asked BAC PT Lacey: “What’s the best compliment or thank you you’ve ever received from a child or their family?”

👉 “Families sending photo updates of kids doing skills we had worked on the foundation of. I love seeing my new-walkers out running around and playing with siblings/friends.” – Lacey

We LOOOVE when families share updates, victories, new milestones met ... trust us; we remember each & every BAC kid, and it is always special to see / hear what they are up to. Thank you for sharing your incredible children with us!

👻 Trick-or-treating can be ... well, tricky!

Think about it - kids are:
👣 Walking uneven terrain (including front steps) in the dark
🍭 Carrying a candy bucket (and maybe a costume prop, too)
🌟 Navigating a whole bunch of new sights, sounds, and people (many of which are downright SCARY!)
💬 Waiting their turn, requesting candy (with gestures, with words, with a device), expressing appreciation - all while managing tons of different feelings, ranging from elation to disappointment to even terror (as mentioned above!)

That’s a LOT of skills all at once! BAC clinicians will definitely be role-playing trick-or-treating in this week's PT, OT, and SLP sessions. We also encourage families to practice the whole routine at home - each door in your home can be a new neighbor! Try throwing in some "surprises" and talk through how to respond (one neighbor has run out of candy, one neighbor is offering a treat that the child doesn't like / want, etc).

Wondering if your child is meeting milestones? 🤔💡 You don’t have to “wait and see.”

Early support from a pediatric physical therapist (or occupational therapist or speech-language pathologist!) can make all the difference in helping kids build strength, skills, and confidence. Even if your child doesn't end up requiring ongoing therapy appointments, that initial evaluation appointment can answer LOTS of questions and offer you & your family peace of mind.

In today's blog, BAC physical therapist Lacey encourages parents to "ask questions, seek support, and trust your instincts."
